In honor of the Hollywood Hillbillies, one of the most imperfectly lovable families of them all, we're taking a look at our favorite movies that take a more realistic look at family life. Vote for your favorite and find out which movie family is the winner.

A Christmas Story (1983)The Parkers might not all be in agreement about whether a BB gun is an appropriate gift for Ralphie, but at the end of the day, even the Bumpus hounds' shenanigans can't break the spirit of this tight-knit clan.

2

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)When the Griswolds decide to go to Walley World, there is literally nothing that can stop them from getting there and having a great time. Perseverance is what this family is all about.

3

Raising Arizona (1987)So maybe kidnapping isn't the best way to start a family, but that doesn't mean that Ed and H.I. McDunnough don't love Junior just as much as if he were a legally obtained child.

4

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)The Buckets might not have much in terms of material wealth, but there is plenty of love in their teeny tiny home.

5

Silver Linings Playbook (2012)The Solatano family has plenty of problems, from mental illness to gambling issues, but when they work together they can still find a way to come out on top.

6

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)Most of the time, the Dynamites just get on each others nerves, but that doesn't mean they can't all sit down together to enjoy a dang quesa-dilluh.

7

The Simpsons Movie (2007)Homer might not be father of the year, but the Simpsons is without a doubt one of our all-time favorite movie families. Besides, any family that includes a spider-pig must be a winner.

8

The Addams Family (1991)No matter how creepy, kooky, mysterious and/or spooky this family is, the Addams love each other to death.

9

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)Whether it's getting their Volkswagen bus down the road or not letting Olive dance alone at the pageant, the Hoover family has the ability to ignore their individual problems and work together to make things happen.

10

The Family Stone (2005)The intellectual and eccentric Stone family is close knit and they care about each other, but they definitely know how to give to cold shoulder to outsiders.
